Here are three not previously published cinquains.


Medical Miracle

Nothing
so clears the mind
of trifles, peeves, and faults
as waiting for the test results
one week.


The Daily Grind

Black room

when I'm snap-cracked awake
by my arthritic house. I so
relate.


At The Library Return

Dad hands
his son each book
to drop into the slot,
till--"Not the cow book!" What a rave
review.
